Does abuse of discretion apply to evidence at trial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Malpeso, 115 F.3d 155 (2nd Cir. 1997):
We review the district court's determination of the admissibility of evidence for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Rioux, 97 F.3d 648, 660 (2d Cir.1996). We will "not overturn a trial judge's evidentiary rulings unless the judge acted arbitrarily or irrationally." United States v. Blanco, 861 F.2d 773, 781 (2d Cir.1988). No abuse of discretion has been demonstrated.
